Broker's Comments

The Oyster 53 is a well known and respected long distance cruising yacht. The 53 was made by Dell Marine in New Zealand and is extremely well built and commissioned on 2003.

On the deck there are sail controls leading aft including electric headsail and stay sail furler and electric winches.

Below deck the saloon area is light and spacious with a long galley area to starboard. The two forward cabins have bunks in the port side and a double berth to starboard with shared head and shower. The aft Master Cabin offers a large double and ensuite shower.

This example has had recent electronics update before the ARC 2023.
